Pack 104 Annual Blue & Gold Banquet | February 12th, 2022
Pack 104 met at 12 pm on Saturday February 12th at Camp Herms for the Annual Pack 104 Annual Blue & Bold Banquet.
About Blue & Gold
Blue and gold banquets are a tradition within packs, celebrating the leaders and parents who volunteer to make Cub Scouting fantastic. Sometimes former pack members return to blue and gold banquets. Often special Scouting or community leaders are invited to attend or speak to Cub Scouts in attendance. Some packs also use the banquet as a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of Scouts, themselves.
El Cerrito Fire Department | Paramedics & First Responders!! Thursday January 27, 2022
Paramedics from the El Cerrito Fire Department visited the Webelos Den meeting on January 27, 2022 and spoke with the Scouts about their role as First Responders.
They also showed the Webelos a lot of their really cool equipment, and one lucky Scout even got the opportunity to test out the ECG machine. The visit got the Scouts very excited to learn and practice first aid techniques to complete the “First Responder” adventure at their next Den meeting. At the conclusion of the visit, the Webelos presented their visitors with Hero awards that they’d made for them ahead of time.
See below for photos from this den meeting!!
